A magician typically performs a number of different tasks related to his or her profession, including learning different tricks, finding venues for work, and performing tricks in front of an audience. Learning and practicing magic tricks is one of the most important and time-consuming aspects of the work done by magicians and is often an ongoing process. Magicians also typically find ways to profit from their time and knowledge, usually by joining professional groups and looking for opportunities to give performances. A magician might also spend a great deal of time coming up with new tricks to perform, which may require extensive practice and construction of props.
Also known as an illusionist, a magician is typically a person who performs stage magic or similar tricks that are usually based on illusions and sleight of hand. This work often begins with learning magic tricks, frequently including prestidigitation and manipulation of objects such as playing cards and coins. Not only does a magician have to learn how a trick works, but many of these tricks require hundreds of hours of practice to perfect. Those tricks involving sleight of hand, for example, often require extensive practice to ensure that the movements and action are seamless while performing a trick.

I know, everyone has an idea about this already. A magician makes thing appear and dis-appear, makes things change color and the list goes on and on. This is all true. Magic is a lot of fun and people enjoy it. In fact, I wrote a whole article on that alone. Sometime when someone hires a magician, they have no idea what a magician should do. I like to ask my clients when they first call,: "What would you like a magician to do for your event." sometimes they have an answer and sometimes they say; "I don't know" or "I never thought about that..."
